16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Blew the start at Leicester last month when making it 1-18 on turf; however, he won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and was back on the scoresheet there (7f) last Thursday, and is not ruled out today. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All three of his wins on the AW have been at this track, the most recent in a C&D classified in February; well beaten after missing the break at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago but may bounce back returned to AW. |

Sole turf win came over 1m2f in 2023 and three subsequent successes have been on the AW (1m and 7f); has continued to run well since the latest of them in February but this is his first 6f run since his debut. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December; has had some ups and downs since but he came from off the pace to finish a creditable third at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) two weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last success and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track but he's been disappointing since his C&D win in October; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he needs to turn things around. |

6th 3 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track (6f/1m), with the most recent coming in October; below his best when fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) last time but that was his first start for 75 days and he may come on for it; can be competitive back to 7f. |

Unable to land any sort of blow in three novice races (7f-1m) but has more realistic chance to get competitive in this low-grade handicap and market support will make him of interest. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven AW wins include one over C&D, and his two most recent 7f runs, here in February and at Southwell 11 days ago, were up there with his best efforts over the last year; likely to need extra from a high draw though. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Winless in 18 months and has regressed in recent times; quite happy on Tapeta but most wins have come after a recent outing and he's been off since a poor one on turf in March. |

2nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely but has responded well to blinkers, winning two of his three starts in this headgear (all on AW); up 7lb for the latest but that was quite decisive from off the pace and this could also be run to suit; 1m with cut underfoot is fine. |

Tends to race too freely but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when winning off reduced mark at Southwell (7f) last month; ought to have been suited by the return to 1m when very disappointing joint-favourite here two weeks ago but no surprise if he bounces back quickly. |

Four wins when trained by Iain Jardine, including two at Newcastle this January; hasn't shone in four runs for new stable though and hopes are pinned on the returning blinkers (he's been wearing a visor or cheekpieces) working the oracle. |

9st 9lb |
Done the bulk of his winning over 6f, and hasn't tasted success since March 2021 (Chelmsford); gone off the boil since posting back-to-back third place finishes (over 7f) in mid-February; headgear is yet to deliver. |

11th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

All ten wins (including one here) have come over 5f-7f; losing run is up to 20 and his stamina for this far remains unproven; different headgear combination will need to make a big difference. |

9th 12 (12) |
5th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed on consecutive 7f Tapeta starts last month and didn't run badly over 6f here a week ago but this move back up to 1m is not sure to suit and it's now over three years since his last win; swaps blinkers for first-time visor; tongue-tie also fitted for first time. |

Four-time winner in this country on turf/Tapeta before heading to France where he won six times, the latest a Chantilly claimer (7f, Polytrack) in October; only beat one home on stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in December and has a bit to prove after that. |
